I just read your post. I'm so sorry for your loss. There is no time limit to how long you can or should feel sad. I hope you feel some comfort with each day that passes. Again, I am just so sorry for your loss.

((((Amiga13)))) I just saw your post. Your pain is still fresh-it has only been a couple of months. It is okay to feel sad and even to have a good cry. The first year can be so difficult-especially the holidays and special events that the two of you shared. I am glad that your children called you. I hope that fond memories of the time you and your husband shared helped you get through the day. I wish I could find the words to help you feel better and to ease your pain. I continue to pray that you feel God's peace.

My husband passed away four years ago in Sept. Dec 29th would have been my husband and my 33rd wedding anniversary.

I am thinking of you. I can not imagine your sadness at this time. Hugs to you.

Aww..I am sad for you. My bff lost her hubs about 3 years ago and this is the first time that she put up her Christmas tree. I believe that that time is our friend when we lose someone we love. I hope you have a Christmas surounded by loved ones. (((hugs)))

I can totally understand - my husband just passed away on December 10 from Alzheimers. We would have been together 43 years also this month. We were together my whole adult life and it's difficult to begin building this strange new life alone, so I understand your sadness. I'm glad it's getting better for you and I'm sending you many smiles to get through this sad day.

I hope there will be a few moments where you remember the beautiful moments you had together and I hope that will bring you a little peace.

I am sad for you. It's especially hard getting through that first year after losing a loved one. I will be thinking of you during this holiday season.

Of course you can be sad! ((hugs)) You are always so positive and supportive of others. Can you share a pic of your wedding day?

amiga13, the sadness is part of the healing process. You should allow yourself to be sad. The holidays are particularly difficult when you have celebrated them together for so many years. I am glad that we are here to support you in your healing. I realize that telling you that it will get better is not going to help you much, but in my case this Christmas will have been 25 years since I lost my DH#1, and although the sadness still creeps in occasionally, I now mostly have fond memories of our time together.

You are always so positive and supportive of others who are going through struggles. Hugs and prayers for this difficult time.

I think you've been amazing and so go ahead girl, have yourself a bit of a sad day...it's allowed! I would be celebrating my 42nd anniversary on Dec. 28th if my DH hadn't up and died. Men!! It gets easier....but there's always a part of your heart missing. He wouldn't want you to be sad...at least not for long. I still think we should have a little celebration though....after all....you were a loving, devoted wife and 43 years is a wonderful accomplishment. Hugs and good wishes that tomorrow will be a brighter day!

Oh Amiga, it is indeed a hard day for you. Sending you smiles, hugs and prayers. Itís been 7 years since I lost my husband and I still have too many hard days. I believe itís the price of loving so deeply. It does get better Amiga.

Sending you a smile too.

I still experience frequent sadness since DH passed away in October, but itís getting better. Today, though, is a very hard day. It would have been our 43rd anniversary. Thanks for sending me smiles.
